A memorial is an object served as a memory of something, usually a person (who has died) or an event.

Popular forms of memorials include landmark objects such as Statue s or Fountain s. The most common type of memorial is the Gravestone . Also common are War Memorial s commemorating those that have died in War s. Memorials in form of a Cross are called Intending Cross es.

When somebody has died, the family may request that a memorial gift (usually money) be given to a designated Charity or Church (rather than flowers). Sometimes, when a high school student has died, the memorials are placed in the form of a Scholarship , to be awarded to high-achieving students in future years.
